Well folks I'm out of the rat race. The company crapped all over me and I tried to fight breifly, with a hiugjyl paid lawyer - who felt sorry for me, hahahaha, but lost spectacularly.

I've been working part time on the organic farm next door milking nice cows and de-stressing. What a difference sleeping makes to your life, huh? I'm out of internet connection so don't hold breaths for updates, but I'll be back(arny voice).

Fought them off with legal help - free luckily - but man, it has really shaken my position. I'm seriously looking at other options, but I doubt there is a better job than this one. I will just have to knuckle under and go invisible for a while.

This was a nasty back stabbing incident from people I thought I trusted. Man, I'm never going to trust my so called superiors agains - new rule, never take anything up the ladder, just answer their questions and move on. I'm not the only one who has had this happen to them - a culture of bullying - I'm told it happens in all government type jobs. Doesn't make it feel any better. Had trouble sleeping last night but still came into work - hey, they wont beat me. Just like John Rambo!

I know Im late in replying to this... but my motto is... Trust No One! And it has served me well... especially with my govt job.

I may have to look for a new job. Luckily I only have aboout $6000 owing on the new vehicle and no other debt except the mortgage which is being taken care of. I still feel shell shocked by it all though. I keep telling myself, it is time for a change, a new direction. I really didn't want to be doing this crazy job when at the age of 40 (I'm 36 now).

Still, the sun is shining today.

So were you just offered a severance package to leave? I would start looking for another job asap!

Agreed... take the money and run. You hate the job and they are gunning for ya.
